1t must, however, be admitted that even if
the kings are but 6bOgus" sovereigns, the
facts related about them are very charac-
t~eristic. Lively times marked Ireland
long before the "brutal Saxon" or even
the fierce Dane had set his foot ON it's soil.
One passage, however, gives a still more
characteristic trait-."ConnOro or C~onchabar--

the misfOrtunes of his country" Who

taken, however, in dying over the matter

being reproached i'll the House of Commons
for his want of interest in an sIrish1 de-
bate, simply rose and said, "Sir, the Irish
question is unsOlvable." Seriously speak
ing, OF course, we don't mean this. To
Great Britain the solution of the Irish
question is worth al immense effort, aud we
rejoice to know that British statesmen. are
exertlng themselves ~strenuOusly to solve
1T. We should like to see Ireland, beauti-
full land as it is, and filed as it is with "a
warm-hearted people, made both pros porous
and happy, and we sincerely believe thatthe
English leaders who at the present
moment are forcing through Parliament the
measure 80 wrongly called the "Coercion
Bill" have no other end in view. May
success i'll all respects be theirs!

Of document in pursuance with s 81 of the

Considering that, on account OF it's inability,
during a number of years, to procure the
means required to cover it's most necessary
current expenses according to the Colonial
Law, the Municipality of St. Croix has incur
red q considerable debt to the Danish State
Treasury, and as not only the said Municipali-
sy Isl at present entirely unableto pay this debt
but cannot even with any probability count
on being-in any near future, until circum-
stances may render a settlement of the debt
possible-able to dispense with pecuniary
advances from the State Treasury for deftay-
ing the expenses unavoidably necessary for
it's existence, the Colonial Council, in accord
ance with s 81 Of the Colonial Law, does here.
by give it's consent to the following measure:
that in compliance with the demand made
to that effect by the Ministry Of Finances, and
on behalf of the Municipality. the Governor
gives to the Danish State Treasury, conform
ably tolaw and IN preference to all and every
one, q mortgage in all that the Municipality
or the Colonial Treasury now OWNS or at any
time may own, be it real estate, movables,
outstanding claims, taxes, and duties, ready
money, and bonds, all without any exception,
as security for the amounts which the Munich
pality or the Colonial Treasury of ST. Croix
according to accounts now does owe or in
future at any time may owe to the Danish
State Treasur9 in such a manner that the
mortgage remains in force until the debt to
the State Treasury is paid or settled in any
other way, satisfactory to the State Trea-
sury.
The resolution eVas eread by the Councils
Secretary, and the Chairman proposed that
10 be subject to only one discussion, which
proposal was tacitly adopted.
After q discussion, in which besides the
Governor the following Members took part,
Faber, Lemming. Brown, Hewitt, Raphael,
Wassard, Leevy, Jameson, Mcdonald, and
the Chairman, the Resolution proposed was
again read and was carried by 8 votes against
